Margarethe Jodl

Margarethe Jodl, also Margarete, née Förster (1859–1937) was a German translator and writer who is remembered for supporting the women's movement in Austria. In November 1900, together with Yella Hertzka and three others, she founded and chaired the Viennese Women's Club (Erster Wiener Frauenklub). The organization was however not very successful and in 1903 gave way to the Neue Frauenklub (New Women's Club). Married to the German philosopher Friedrich Jodl, she supported his educational ambitions until his death in 1914. Thereafter she was active in the Viennese adult education initiative Wiener Volksbildungsverein.
